Suggest Remedy For A Behavioral Problem

I have a two and a half year old who is now playing with her pooh. Puts her hand in diaper and then smears on bed. This is a habit that has just begun. Her 5 yr old sister just started kdg. and 4 yr. old sister pre-school two days a week and I am pregnant and due in January. What am I missing? Any ideas?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thank you for the query.
Dear it seems by your description that the child needs attention. As she is a third in birth order, while elder ones are very young and fourth one due, you must be very busy and stressed. It will be easier on you is you start toilet training her. This way you will spend some time with her when you can explain why she should not be playing with pooh.
This shall be cleared with some extra attention and love and patience, which in your case will be needed in plenty.
Please do not expect the child to behave always, they are children.
